Next generation commercial aircraft need to meet a future demand of 40,000 units for the next 20 years resulting in higher delivery rates than today. Composite materials for large scale structures have been introduced over the last decades whereas novel designs, material alternatives and technologies will play a major role to meet future needs. Dedicated fuselage applications will be discussed.
